How to wrap your hands

As a beginner, you should know that there are many different styles and techniques to wrap your hands. Everyone has a method that works best for them based on their own needs. When you start to train, you’ll also develop your own style, and that’s okay. But for now, you can follow these steps to get started. If your trainer prefers that you use their method, please follow their lead.

Step 1:

Unroll your hand wraps.

Step 2:

Attach your hand wrap loop and pull the slack across your hand. Make sure you have the correct side facing up! Always go across the back of your hand.

Step 3:

Pull the the slack underneath your hand. Wrap your wrist 3 times, ending on your thumb side. Don't over tighten, as your hand will swell up slightly when you train.

Step 4:

Starting from your pinky side, wrap your knuckles 3 times. Come down from the back of your hand, around the wrist and return to the thumb position.

Step 5:

From the thumb position, wrap between your fingers. Once through EACH finger, wrap around your hand and back down to return to wrist position.

Step 6:

From the wrist position, wrap over top of your thumb. From underneath your thumb, wrap over top of your hand and return to wrist position.

Step 7:

From the wrist position, wrap over top of your thumb again. BUT this time pull the wrap underneath your hand and across your palm.

Step 8:

From there, wrap around your knuckles 3 times and return to an over top wrist position.

Step 9:

Wrap the remainder of your wrap around your wrist, making the last 3 loops nice and snug, then lock in the velcro.

Step 10:

That's a wrap!

Wrist support

Our gloves are designed to perform and protect. We’ve dedicated ourselves to creating the best wrist support system in the business, to help YOU do more of what you love. Train longer and harder than ever; our dual strap closure and glove splinting keep your wrists tight and aligned so they don’t bend under strain. No injuries = no excuses.

T3 Fit & Feel

Ultimate fit, protection and performance

Our dual strap closure provides a snug lace like fit which creates hand and wrist stabilization for the best protection and injury prevention.

S4 Fit & Feel

Comfortable. Protective. Built for beginners.

Our S4 Boxing Glove ergonomics are similar to our T3’s, but with a more basic construction. They feel comfortable, protective, and will offer you a great first experience with a boxing glove.

What to wear

When you’re going to the gym for striking classes, what you wear can influence your experience. Here are some ideas to get the most out of your training:

Top: T-shirt or our compression top

Bottom: Depending on your preference, we recommend either our kickboxing shorts for mid-thigh or lightweight shorts for longer length shorts

Hands: Hand wraps, S4 Boxing Gloves for beginners or T3 Boxing Gloves for more advanced fighters.

Shins: For Muay Thai or Kick Boxing, we recommend going with T3 Shin guards.

Feet: Comfortable, light shoes with a good grip to help you pivot for hard floors and barefoot with ankle support for mat floors

Gym etiquette

When you start, don’t overdo it. You can hurt yourself if it’s your first time punching / kicking. We suggest following your trainer’s instructions closely or observe more experienced fighters.

Learn the basics and stick to your techniques. Do not worry about speed or power in the beginning, make sure you nail the technique, then ramp up your power and speed. This will protect you from making vital mistakes or incurring injuries.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions!

Be in the moment. Have fun and train hard.

Daily maintenance & storage

Every time you finish a workout you have to air out your gloves. Open them as much as you can and leave them to sit somewhere out of the way. If you need to put them directly into a gym bag, make sure it has mesh panels so it still gets air (Check out our Ryoko line).

If you have T3’s here’s how we recommend you maximize the airflow:

How to + How often to wash your hand wraps

We know it seems silly to say, but you NEED to wash your hand wraps. We’ve all endured that rotting garbage smell coming from someone’s sweaty gear. Don’t be that guy, treat your hand wraps like your socks and underwear, wash them after every use. Protect them with wash bags (like this one) or regular underwear mesh wash bags.
